Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 15, 2013 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br />Koertje asked if this was a public hearing, or do they need to come back through as a <br />demolition request. <br />McCartney stated he was unsure since these were train cars and not structures. <br />Stewart stated this was more like a pre-conference meeting where we are providing <br />direction to staff to forward to City Council. <br />Koertje asked if the structures shown on the vicinity map needed to be included as well. <br />McCartney stated the other structures were not over 50 years old. <br />Fasick asked about the State Farm building. <br />McCartney stated the structure would be remaining. <br />Koertje asked if Front Street was being built punched through. <br />McCartney answered in the affirmative. <br />Stewart stated the development of the alley, behind the adjacent single family homes to <br />the south, was a good idea. He added he felt as though the proposed development was <br />compatible with the existing single family neighborhood. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the specifics of the development. <br />Stewart stated he would like to see the trains repurposed if at all possible. <br />Fasick asked if these trains could be wheeled down to the Grain Elevator. <br />Discussion ensued regarding this comment. It was determined the trains are most likely <br />no longer mobile. <br />Stewart stated he would provide comments to staff for Planning Commission. <br />Updates – <br />Grain Elevator <br />McCartney updated the HPC that City Council directed the Economic Development <br />Director to move forward with the Olde Town Group and ask for a more detailed <br />phasing process. <br />Stewart thanked staff for their hard work on the State Competitive Grant for the Grain <br />Elevator. <br />Watson asked if this would assist our HPF in expenses. <br />McCartney stated it would.
